Hot, hot, hot

A measure of global warming I first felt in Pune, maybe five years ago. The summers became unbearably hot. The Pune summer was hot, but never touching 40 Deg C. This year it regularly crossed 40 Deg C. That puts it in the range of the Gulf countries. And that’s global warming for you. Pune as hot as the Gulf. When it’s the monsoon in Pune it’s the summer in the Gulf. The heat here is like being slapped with a coal iron, trussed in a blanket, baked in an oven and thrown in a sauna. All at once.
